Notes

1

Brodda is never explicitly connected with the followers of Uldor. In the tale of Túrin Turambar, however, the exiled Túrin makes a reference to the Incomers who had occupied his homeland of Dor-lómin (which would have included Brodda) referring to them as the people of Uldor. This seems to imply a connection between the two, and indeed - since Uldor himself had been slain in the Nirnaeth - Brodda might potentially be seen as an indirect heir.

As an Easterling, Brodda's name would not in principle have derived from any of the familiar languages of Beleriand, whether Elvish or Mannish. The name is never explained, though it might conceivably have been inspired by Old Norse broddr, meaning a 'spike', 'dart' or 'arrow'.
